Banpresto must have pissed off investors royally because they have a third DLC just announced today and most of it is actually good.
FLC will have Cybuster and the V original upgrades while we got stuff for paid content. First we have Ideon and the Star Driver epilogue movie, both are fantastic so no issue there. Next is Hi Nu and Nightengale from Beltochika or whatever's children; Char's Counter Le Kek is overrated but good and I'm not familiar with the novel version, just rehashes from X.
Cross Ange is back and looking like post plot, excellent series hampered by lousy music because Nana Mizuki can't sing her way out of a paper bag and my personal desire to see that entire civilization's denizens transported to the planet from Hell Target while Violence Jack and Geno Cyber laugh their asses off in the distance because I don't tolerate ethnic cleansing **** or cancel culture. After that we have the
Eureka Seven Hi-Evolution movies! Specifically movie 3 given Eureka's look and the mechs being used. Big misconception, I've heard false rumors that Renton died in the second movie and previous entries were just dreams but... No, that never happened, in fact the version of Dewey from Pocketful of Rainbows was the main antagonist after dimension hoping while Renton was in limbo in the Nirvash (which somehow turned into a hybrid of Devil Gundam and the Matrix). Those movies were good, all three had awesome beginnings and endings, but the middle in all three were a chore to get through and the first two were stock footage city that disrupted the aspect ratios. Man, why didn't we get this in the main cast? Last one is... Xenoglossia... A very meh series that was overtly girly, sorta misandrist, had lackluster world building, and subpar cast and music. A damn shame because the action and mechs were cool, hell, Epithemeus was a rare example of mass production units being able to outclass the regular
Prometheuses... And then it got mass produced near the end where a small island in the Indian Ocean somehow managed to manufacture MORE THREE DAMN HUNDRED OF THEM- Like, I actually made a topic of this on /m/ last year, I counted BY HAND a screencap in episode 24:

Xenoglossia is also the same subdepartment/substudio responsible for other girly trash like Mai Hime, Mai Otome, and The Girl That Leapt Through Space; also Cross Ange, but lets not pretend a lot of that was Mitsuo Fukada whipping everyone into shape... Which is a testament to how bad
Valverave guy's influence can be if he was with Go Nagai and Fukada to make Grendizer U and that ended up being to one black mark of Nagai's entire anime discography. It gets personal for me because Mai Hime was the very first anime I watched and thought "wow, that really sucked!" and the only other bad series I watched before then was that boring talk loaded Battlestar Galactica remake on the Syfy channel in the aughties. What the frack were they thinking? I'd also count that BBC series Primeval which the Toho Kingdom forums used to masturbate to, but after one episode of that I went "hell naw". Man, I easily got on gvamp's nerves back then without trying, some folks just can't come to terms with the fact that 6/10 movies like Manos: The Hand of Fate are better than 5/10 movies like Schindler's List. Meanwhile, Toucan Sam was discovered helping Jeffery Epstein cleaning the
Loch Ness Monster's pirated video tape collection that was uncovered by Shaq and Paul Rudd during an archaeology trip to Bangladesh in an attempt prove Goku lost in a fight with Cthulhu and tr39rifh93ru3io4h098ri32ujepowdjnqoiewbhr3oiewhhr4heifoehoifhior3efh3n4oedinurbifon;i
Owe, my brain and/or spleen, what the hell? Oh yeah, I was trying to rant and stumbled into other dimensions that still don't have the
Raffelssia from Gundam F91 having a high grade. Such a constant in the multiverse. But yeah, instead of Xenoglossia there is plenty of other girly mecha they could have added like Strike The Blood, Escaflowne, Metallic Rouge, Pastel Memories, Regalia, The Price of Smiles, Strain, maybe Rumble Garandoll (even though that was nazi propaganda), Sakugan, Spy Classroom- Wait, that one isn't mecha. Point is what a bad choice. S O fucking S indeed. So many centuries, so many gods, we are the prisoners of our own fantasies (thanks, Morgray The Dark) and now we are marching against these gods, I'm the wizard that will change it all! For those that don't get that last sentence:
